Folding This 21 Page Thing?

[FlapJack]

Hey,


Basically, I need some help with this MC Helmet thing...the folding looks rather complicated...how do I know which way to fold the pieces and all? Eh I'm not good with this kind of stuff lol.

lines like this -.-.-.- = Valley fold, or V-shaped
lines like this -------= Mountain fold, or ^-shaped

just cut it out and fold the flap under or over where the lines meet.

Hope this helps.

I think so, thanks ...lol I'm 3D modeling all the way I'm no good at real world stuff ...so we'll see how this turns out.

Your welcome :mrgreen: .

If you want some practice thats a similar project but alot smaller, try the Paper Wii Remote found Here

I don't get the numbering...are the numbers just supposed to line up? Like line up 1 with 1? 2 with 2? 3 with 3? And so on?

 

[TheBlue]

Yes. Ex: Line 245 goes to line 245. Some pieces have the same numbers on the piece. Just cut where it says to cut and you should be fine.

Awesome thanks . And fold the dotted lines right? Shapes that are like:

_
\/


Except they're dotted...you just fold em down right?

Yeah that helmet is a (%#$*#) It takes a long time. I suggest you read the tutorial about scaling and folding. It will save you alot of trouble in the future....

Did you remember to scale it? I messed up my first one because I forgot to scale it.
